Baby Picture - Poem by Anne Sexton

It's in the heart of the grapewhere that smile lies.It's in the good-bye-bow in the hairwhere that smile lies.It's in the clerical collar of the dresswhere that smile lies.What smile? The smile of my seventh year, caught here in the painted photograph.

It's peeling now, age has got it, a kind of cancer of the backgroundand also in the assorted features.It's like a rotten flagor a vegetable from the refrigerator, pocked with mold.I am aging without sound, into darkness, darkness.

Anne, who are you?

I open the veinand my blood rings like roller skates.I open the mouthand my teeth are an angry army.I open the eyesand they go sick like dogswith what they have seen.I open the hairand it falls apart like dust balls.I open the dressand I see a child bent on a toilet seat.I crouch there, sitting dumblypushing the enemas out like ice cream, letting the whole brown worldturn into sweets.
